Texas quarterback Queen Ewers is becoming a superstar so fast, that the Longhorns signals caller gets calls that look like Tom Brady against Iowa State.
The mullet didn’t take long to live up to the hype. After not playing at Ohio State last season, Quinn Ewers moved to the Texas Longhorns with much fanfare around the once announced recruit. But the question was whether the raw talent he possessed would be translated into the field.
Returning from his injury at the “Red River Showdown” last week in which he gutted Oklahoma, Ewers proved he was the merchandise. Nor was it the first time that Alabama was on the ropes in the first quarter before being knocked out of that game due to injury.
The Ewers has already become a star in college football, but now the Longhorns quarterback appears to be getting calls from the stars, ones that Tom Brady can call and fans can still be mad at.
Texas QB Queen Ewers get like Tom Brady dreading a passerby’s call in exchange for Iowa
Lagging 7-0 to Iowa State in the first half on Saturday, Ewers slipped to pass the ball and faced some obvious pressure. He dumped the ball and then took a hit, which in the end seemed harmless.
But officials considered that the defender “led the midfielder to the ground” and judged him harshly on the plea of bystanders. Be the judge if this hit deserves a 15-yard penalty.
To me, this sounds like a regular soccer game that wasn’t late, wasn’t pushing Ewers to the ground, and wasn’t even remotely worthy of punishment.
This, of course, drew comparisons to the Atlanta Falcons’ dreaded passer-by against Tom Brady in week five of the NFL season when he was barely injured and still drawing the flag. The hit on Ewers was less horrible in terms of punishment, but calls are in the same ballpark with how wrong they are both.
